1. Choose Your Strategy

The “COVER SCENT” message will flash on the tracking screen. Press the DIRECTION pad to choose one of three strategies (Scents), then pull the TRIGGER to enter it.

COVER SCENT: The easiest level of play. The cover scent masks your human scent, so wind conditions are

ot critical to successful tracking. At this level, however,

n you won’t find any large bucks.

ATTRACTANT SCENT: T

SCENT strategy, because you must move with the wind at your back or side. This level allows you to lure in the

Using CALL and RATTLE Buttons:

If you do not see any deer while scoping, try using one or more decoy sounds before scoping again. Press the deer CALL button or the RATTLE button once — or press them alternately. Certain numbers or combinations of decoy sounds are effective in luring deer, depending on the clue type. It is worth experimenting to see which ones work best — decoys can be the key to a successful hunt! You must rescope an area to see if you have lured any deer into that area.

If there is still no DEER! message after you have used the decoy(s) and rescoped the area, the deer have probably moved away — or were spooked by too much noise. (i.e. too many calls and/or rattles.)

If you see the “DEER!” message, follow directions in and Shoot mode.

Wind direction

Depending on which strategy you chose, wind direction is critical in tracking deer. For example, if you chose the

ttractant scent, the wind must be at your back or your side

a when you enter a deer-occupied space. If the wind is blowing in your face, the deer will spook and escape. Because of this, it is always important to check wind conditions when tracking deer.

eather

Weather conditions and time of day appear in the conditions window. The weather may be sunny, cloudy, or snowy. The time of day may be early morning, late morning, early afternoon, late afternoon, or evening. Wind direction may be north, south, northeast, northwest, southeast or southwest.

Terrain, as seen on the maps, generally includes forests (dark areas) and plains (light areas).

All of these factors affect where you will find the large bucks. For example, it is good to know that deer usually feed in the morning and evening hours, and may find shelter in the afternoon, especially when it snows. The practiced hunter will frequently check the conditions window, especially for time of day and wind direction.

Evening

At nightfall, the hunt ends for the day. The next morning the deer will be in different locations, so try to bag a buck before nightfall on any day.
